Multiselect dropdown list in Lifecycle

Currently I am working on the dropdown list where I should be able to select the options one by one which will be appended in the dropdown value with some delimiter. I am able to do this in a textbox but no luck in the dropdown.
Can anybody help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Jay

You can't directly update the database, and expect the system to simply recognize you've changed something. Content Server is not designed to work in that manner.
You have to republish schema in order for the updated table to be recognized. Use the same solution found in the following thread. Schema Publishing issue in Oracle UCM 11g
And I'd strongly suggest getting away from directly changing data in the database outside of the application's framework/methodology. There is real potential for making problems that have far-reaching impacts that are not easy to fix, and may make your installation unsupportable.

Hi all.
Viewing a pdf form created with SAP interactive Forms offline method, the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
The data in the dropdown list field are generated by xml file produced by an abap report.
The problem occurs opening the form with Adobe Reader 8.1 or higher. Using Adobe Reader release 7.0.9 everything is ok.
Do you have any suggestion?
Thanks in advanced.
Best Regards.

Hi Otto,
the only release of Adobe Reader that work is 7.0.9. Release 8.1 and 9 have the same problem where the data in the dropdown list field are empty.
At the end of the trace file in Adobe Reader 9.0.3 I find this error message:
"Invalid version: The current version of the XFA template model exceeds the capability of Acrobat / Adobe Reader 7.0.5."
The form has been created using Adobe Lifecycle Design 7.1.
Any idea?
Thanks

Immediate Submit From Dropdown List Selection

In JSF what is the best way to get the form to submit immediately when a dropdown list item is selected? I know I can use a JavaScript onchange="..." but just wondering if there is a more standard/cool way of doing this in JSF.
Thanks!
Vaughn

No. Simply creating a ValueChangeListener won't do what he wants. When he used the term "immediately" he meant "as soon as the value changes" and not "immediate" in the sense of bypassing Faces lifecycles. This can be seen from his reference to "onchange=".
The suggestion I am about to make solves one problem but creates another.
In addition to valueChangeListener= "#{...}" and immediate="true", put onchange="submit()". This will execute your event as soon as the value changes BUT...
Faces navigation doesn't work any more when you return a navigation target.
How do we get Faces Navigation to keep working when we use "onchange" ?

How to create a MultiSelect dropdown or listbox

hi experts,
I need to create a multiselect dropdown or Listbox in my Ui component bp_head.Although this is generally achived through table view,but we have only 5 values for a feild ,so it doesnt make any sense to create a table view /new assignment block for that.
I am ok even if we need to do BSP coding,but any suggestion would be of great help.
Please let me know how to achive this.
Regards
Anu

Hi There,
Multi-select drpdown is not possible in WEB UI nor we have list control.
However You can extend the .htm coding by taking the 5 values in internal table and using the HTMLB tag for listbox or dropdown, I guess they support multiselect. Alternatively HTML+ Javascript is also possible However I would not recommend the HTMLB tag or HTML approch as it may not be wise to invest so much time in such a small requirement and CheckBox option is much sensible as you have 5 values only.
Have a look at the page LISTBOX.BSP of application SBSPEXT_HTMLB to see how list box works and you can give it a try in your IDES system whenever possible.
Hope this helps
Thanks & Regards

Having a problem parsing XML from web service & dropdown list

I have 2 data connections that are programmatically invoked via exit event on different fields in form. Both have identical code with only difference is that one populates a multiselect list box and one populates a drop down list. The one that populates the listbox works fine. Everytime Field A changes, it is fired and the results parsed then listblox updated. The one with the drop down list is not working at all. The form is used in Workspace. When I use the javascript debugger, I see the correct node values output to the console window. The problem is that the value is not successfully added to the drop down list existingFileNumber. Anyone have any great ideas? Like I said, this works perfectly in the same form for a different web service and a listbox.
Here is the code for firing and parsing the dropdown list data:
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.sPreparer.existingFileNumber.clearItems();
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.phaseHidden.rawValue="PI";
xfa.connectionSet.getInfo.execute(0);
var pls2=xfa.datasets.createNode("dataGroup","pls2");
pls2.loadXML(Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.fileNumbersHidden.rawValue,false,true);
xfa.datasets.data.nodes.append(pls2);
var dataGroup=xfa.resolveNode("xfa.data.pls2.Matters");
var dataGroupLength=dataGroup.nodes.length;
if (dataGroupLength==0) {}
else {
for (var i=0;i<dataGroupLengthl;i++){
console.println(dataGroup.nodes.item(i).nodes.item(0).value);
Form.sRoutingTransmittalSlip.sPreparer.existingFileNumber.addItem(dataGroup.nodes.item(i ).nodes.item(0).value);

Do this instead
[Bindable]
var xlTopics:XMLListCollection;
private function LoadResults(event:ResultEvent):void{
var xmlResult = XML(event.result); //only use lastResult in
binding expressions
trace(xmlResult.toXMLString()); //to be sure of what you have
xlTopics = new XMLListCollection(xmlResult .children());
//all the child nodes of the root

SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

How to create a dropdown list to list the values from two different tables?

Hi,
I have the following requirement:
1. I have to create a dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of a table.
2. Another dropdown list to display all the values from the second column of another table.
3. A text box should help me to add the selected values.
How to get this done in a PDF? Please help.

Latha

Is this a LC form? Because Acrobat forms have no concept of tables, just
individual fields...

Get unique values from Parent List in Dropdown List SPServices

I have a dropdown list created using the SPServices ($().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns). It works as it should, I just need to add a requirement. I need to be able to filter the Parent Lookup list to show only unique values.
$().SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns({
relationshipList: "ROInsComp",
relationshipListParentColumn: "AIP-RY",
relationshipListChildColumn: "NameAndCode",
parentColumn: "AIP-RY",
childColumn: "NameAndCode",
debug: true});
The issue is that in AIP-RY I have stored Years and each year could be repeated several times
I followed some of the recommendations from this blog:
GetListItems Unique Values
I this is what I tried:
$.ajax({
url: weburl+'https://my-site/_layouts/filter.aspx?ListId='+escape('{544C8B6A-C9B3-4BA‌D-B9CF-B032E5FD07DB}')+'&FieldInternalName='+"AIP-RY" + '&ViewId='+escape('{4B433420-156F-4F4F-9E3C-551DC43B593C}')+'&FilterOnly=1&Filte‌r=1',
success: function(data) {
alert('It worked!');}
No luck so far! Thanks!
EM

Thanks for looking into this. I'm not sure this would work: SPServices.SPCascadeDropdowns
only works (as far as I know) for elements from the same list.

Calculating dynamic values from dropdown lists

Hi all, here's the noob question of the day
I'm creating an invoice form in LiveCycle Designer and I'm totally stuck at tax calculations:
for each product you're able to choose between two tax percentages from a dropdown list and, at the end of the form, I want to show a total amount of each tax.
product
qty
unit price
vat
net price
red shoes pack
2
20$
4%
40$
black shoes pack
1
25$
4%
25$
white umbrella
1
10$
7%
10$
total net price
75$
+ TAX 4%
2.60$
+ TAX 7%
0.70$
Total
78.30$
How can I set the + TAX 4% and + TAX 7% fields to grab their respective product rows?
Sorry for my bad english.. I hope you get the question!

You woudl have to look at each row inside of a for loop and then determine if that row had 4% or 7% tax. Then you coudl keep a running total of the tax for you calcultions such that when the for loop ended you would have the 4 and 7% totals calculated.
Make sense?

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

Difference between Combo Box and Dropdown List

Hi All,
I would like to know the difference between the elements 'Combo box' and 'Dropdown List' in VC. I am facing an issue where i am invoking an entry list and the output of the first element the entry list returns is getting reflected as the output for all the elements...
So even if 2nd and 3rd row of the o/p from the entry list is giving only 2 items, if the 1st row returns only 1 then we are able to see only 1 item. Its as if the 1st row decides the items to be returned for all the rows.
Please help.

Hi Hezi,
I have 2 columns in my table. First column is 'material number' and the 2nd one is 'production version'. There can 1,2 or 3 production version for each material. [This information is stored in the backend] This is retrieved through a method which invokes a bapi which in turn retrieves from the backend.
I have provided a dropdown list for the 'production version' column. Lets say there are 2 rows. Material 1 and material 2. Lets say material 1 has 1 production version and material 2 has 2 production version. So rightfully speaking i should have 1 option in the dropdown for material 1 and 2 for material 2.
But what i seeing is only 1 option for both the materials. This is wrong.
Is there something that can be done to ensure that each row reflects the correct no. of options in the dropdown?

Sounds like a PCD Permissions issue. Try assigning Read Access permissions to Everyone group for the following items:
1) the Folder containing the iView and/or
2) the application itself
